Hotline Feature – Kristyn Burtt: Ryan Gosling's Box Office Record, Bachelorette Fallout, and Taylor Sheridan's TV Empire

Entertainment reporter Kristyn Burtt joins Dave Weekley to break down a busy week in Hollywood. Ryan Gosling's Project Hail Mary opens to $80.6 million domestically, making it the second-best debut ever for a non-franchise film behind Oppenheimer and the best March opening in that category. Burtt and Weekley also dig into the canceled Bachelorette season starring Taylor Frankie Paul, whose history of domestic violence incidents — already known to ABC, Hulu, and Disney — became impossible to ignore once video footage surfaced on TMZ, with possible lawsuits from contestants adding another layer of fallout. The two close with a look at whether Taylor Sheridan is oversaturating television with Marshalls, The Madison, and Dutton Ranch all arriving in quick succession as he prepares to exit Paramount for Universal by 2029.
